yeah we would def. have to play at the sky dome. Thats right, i called it the skydome.
WHAT!?!?!?!? The soccer team wants to come into the ARGOS house!?!?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?! This was built for CANADIAN FOOTBALL, GET LOST TFC, GO BUILD YOUR OWN DOME!!!!
/endsarcasm
See how ridiculous it sounds?
Actually it was built for the BlueJays.Originally Posted by TFC+Argos4Life
true say.. argos get out of there too find your own home
No it doesn't sound ridiculous at all. TedDome won't have to be altered for TFC, no construction will take place, no seats will be permanently moved, the game will not interfere with the Argos' schedule, and no "gameday experience" will be ruined...if anything, some actual cheering may be done in there. Your post does not make sense.
What else would it be called?
Either the dome or we might get screwed and have to play at a 'neutral' venue.

Well, looking at the numbers for Montreal away it looks like we will have work ahead to fill the Dome for the Champs league. As much as I think its a atmo-vacuum I'll be there to take it on...
In an earlier post somewhere mlsintoronto or bmofield said that they would take down the bubble at BMO for this.
I think your beef is against the motorcross, monster trucks, spring flig, disney on ice, blue jays, buffalo bills, stars of asia tour, golden oldies, the unforgettable tour, Leo Ku, Flo Rida. Those events are scheduled this summer. That's not to mention you can rent the skydome for movies, conferences, private events, family events etc. etc. It's a multi use facility, you can't have a beef about who uses it.
By contrast, our soccer specific stadium has TFC games(soccer), the Canada Cup(soccer) and various soccer friendlies (Brazil vs Krakow for example).
Note the diffference: Skydome multi use <> BMO Soccer Specific
I really have sympathy for the players but I would Luv it if they played at BMO anyway. Buy a TFC winter coat, maybe they'd sell Irish Coffee. I mean, Anybody watch that Canada game v Estonia? The snow...
Does the snow damage the turf? Just wonder why it;s winterized.
I don't think you can assume just because people don't want or can't make a mid week road trip that they are uninterested in the Champs League.
I hope you're right! I hope to see you there and we can bounce our voices around the Dome!
I like the idea of the dome for a February game, the lower bowl of it is just over 31,000 seats, so the season ticket holders could be assigned there seats, be offered the option to purchase more, every halfseason and Marlies pack people would be offered tickets and you could really make it an event to showcase the team to the entire city. The entire 500 level could be like $10 seat.
On a sidenote I am a little surprised that this has never been done for a Galaxy game, look at the crowds that teams like RBNY get for their games against them, I am sure 50,000 people to see the Reds plus Becks would not be out of the question.

All i wanna know is how much are the tickets to Japan gonna Run?
Exactly. Paul answered this directly and promised the game would be played outside at BMO Field with no bubble.
Oh and a Genesis concert
Nice in theory, but on Feb. 24, snow might not be the only issue; in fact, if the sky's sunny and blue that'll probably just mean it's colder. Either way, there's no way trhey're going to play outdoors in subzero weather.Exactly. Paul answered this directly and promised the game would be played outside at BMO Field with no bubble.

Actually it was built for both teams and concerts. In fact, the Argonauts played there a few months before the Jays did if I remember correctly.
Also, concerts were supposed to be a mainstay of the facility as well, but the acoustics were soundly (no pun intended) criticised by many performers in the first year and now you'd be hard pressed to find bands wanting to play there.
As for the subject at hand, I'm pretty sure MLSE would want to hold as many matches at BMO Field as possible. Even if that includes having to use a yellow ball.

The Blue Jays first game was on June 5, 1989 vs. the Brewers while the Argos first pre-season game that season at the Skydome was June 29.

oh ffs no!
Don't do what New England did one year when they made the Champions Cup. They played their "home" leg, in Bermuda!
What's the problem with taking the bubble off for the game?
You're in Canada,it's February, let the cold be your home field advantage against some Carribbean or Central American team. I will never forget a snowy game against this islander team that didn't even have cold weather gear when they came to play United. I think it ended 5-0 in our favor.
Not saying you're lying, but I think Paul may have been having a bit of fun there.Exactly. Paul answered this directly and promised the game would be played outside at BMO Field with no bubble.
Playing a game at BMO in Feb. would be the stupidest thing they could ever do -- even worse then sharing BMO with the Argos.
But the problem is that most of our players aren't used to playing in cold as well. Just imagine how would Guevara react when we play in the cold? He will prolly start complaining about the weather and demand a trade. loloh ffs no!

^ that must be why the government wants to annex the Turks and Caicos, so we can play national and club games there in the winter!

I would be pumped to watch the soccer game at the dome..even from the 500 level if the tickets we $10...I think we could bring the atmosphere....
BUt the reason they don't use the dome for TFC games vs the Galaxy is because they are shit and Beckham never plays anyways.....the reasons they Redbulls game is not also played is because they are also SHITE....and the atmosphere at BMO is too good to pass up on. '
Just my 2cents
That would be sweet.
No, BMO Field is our house, that is where we play. We need expansion to 30000 at BMO, we don't need to play in the TedDome.
IMO I wouldnt mind the skydome if we could PACK The house! I dont care what many of you say but if we could some how, some way get 60 k fans to the game, i think it would be quite amazing.
